GHSA-rjvj-673q-4hfw
GHSA-rjvj-673q-4hfw is a remote code execution vulnerability in traceroute. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-rjvj-673q-4hfw is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Command Injection in traceroute
Real-World Exposure
tracerouteReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects npm packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
All versions of traceroute are vulnerable to Command Injection. The package fails to sanitize input and passes it directly to an exec call, which may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the system. The trace function is vulnerable and can be abused if the host value is controlled by an attacker.
Recommendation
No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative package until a fix is made available.
Affected Packages

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for traceroute. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Remediation status
No patched version of traceroute has shipped for GHSA-rjvj-673q-4hfw yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-rjvj-673q-4hfw is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-rjvj-673q-4hfw. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-rjvj-673q-4hfw in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-rjvj-673q-4hfw across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
